Scientific paper

The effect of the atmosphere on the measured earth-moon distance is determined. The precision of the earth-moon distance is limited by (1) the statistics of the returning photons, (2) the stability of local time standard, (3) stability of electronics, and (4) variation in the atmosphere. The stability of the electronics and variation in local time standards are thoroughly covered in literature. The number of return photons is controlled by laser power and receiver size. It is shown that it is possible to correct for the atmosphere to the desired precision by simple meteorological measurements at the time of ranging.
